Revelation chapter 13
The dragon standing on the sand of the seashore (fleshly minded):
Rev13:1-2 "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority."
Satan the dragon dominates the fleshly minded (sand of the seashore/not His people), but if they repent from the kingdom of slavery, they become His chosen ones (sand of the seashore/His people) under His dominion.
Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?:
Rev13:1-8 "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
Satan gives his powers of lawlessness to all His enemies to war against His chosen people during their spiritual trials on the earth till the ends of their fleshly ages. The fleshly bodies that do the deeds of lawlessness are not written in His book (Kingdom) of Life, and the spiritual bodies that overcome the works of lawlessness are written in His book of Life. The beast (evil empire/kingdom of evilness) is powerful in the eyes of fleshly minded, but His Kingdom of Life (goodness) is powerful in the eyes of spiritual minded.
Satan (The Beast):
Satan the father of lawlessness/mortality finishes his work of lawlessness at the end of fleshly age when the spiritual body returns to YHWH. Every fleshly birth comes into the world of mortality/lawlessness dominated by Satan and dies worthless. Every spiritual birth comes out of the world of mortality to be His sealed servant till the end of his fleshly age to separate the kingdom of death that belongs to Satan from His Kingdom of Life.
Rev. 13:4 “and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? And who is able to war with him?”; 17:13-14 “These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for He is Master of rulers, and King of kings; and they shall also overcome that are with Him, called and chosen and faithful.”; 20:10 “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, which are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of the ages.”
Satan's authority of lawlessness given to the beasts (evil empires):
Rev13:1-8 "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
Satan's four beasts authorized to war against His chosen people: first beast is the Babylonian empire (Dan. 7:1-4), second beast is the Medo-Persian empire (Dan. 7:5; 8:1-7), third beast is the Greek empire (Dan. 7:6; 8:8-12), fourth beast is the Roman Empire (Dan. 7:7-8) with ten kingdoms (horns). The four beasts are the evil empires that are developed with the works of mortality that promote the fleshly powers by the fleshly minded during the dominion (thousand years) of Satan the father of evils. All are commanded to repent out of the evil empires that dominate the minds and hearts of mortals from the beginning of lawlessness planted in them.
The beast coming up out of the sea authorized and worshipped by the fleshly minded:
Rev13:1-8 "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
Every fleshly birth (generation to come) is subjected to the dominion of Satan because of the lawlessness. All the fleshly minded do the works of opposition (authority of lawlessness and blasphemy) in serving Satan the dominator of the kingdom of darkness. But if they come to repent from the kingdom of lawlessness/blasphemy, they are given His Kingdom of Life while Satan is bounded in the abyss (under His feet), His authority to rebuke the spirits/works of lawlessness during the shortened days (1st 3 1/2 days) of His 70th week.
The beast coming up out of the sea makes war with His people and overcomes them:
Rev13:1-8 "And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
Satan comes out of the abyss to overcome His people who finish their spiritual work for the testimony of Yahushua the Messiah in this world of lawlessness (2nd 3 1/2 days of His 70th week) till the ends of their fleshly ages. His people (spiritual minded) do not worship the beast (master of lawlessness), for they keep His commandments of Life to build their spiritual maturity/house in His Rock. Yahushua the Messiah was authorized to teach His teachings in 42 months (1st 3 1/2 years) before He was subjected to the lawless ones dominated by Satan to finish His fleshly life prior to His resurrection.
One of the beast's heads slain and his fatal wound healed:
Rev13:3-4 "I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him."
The head (kingdom) of mortality/imperfection is slain (troubled) of the words of lawlessness not agreeable/solvable and is ably saved (healed) of the deeds of falsehood/blindness to cover what is failed to amaze the fleshly minded, like when the words spoken out of the mouths of the fleshly minded fail, there are other words/ideas always coming to cover/hide what is failed (healed). One word of lying can be covered by another word of lying (stumbling block) to amaze the fleshly minded. No deed of lawlessness can be restored itself such as self-righteous deed hiding the words of lying.
The spiritual minded knows what amaze the fleshly minded by the deeds of falsehood to promote the monies/fleshly powers, and refrain all the deeds of falsehood that are against His Law of Life. His Kingdom of Life never fails because of the words of perfection.
All blasphemies spoken out of the mouths of fleshly minded that do the deeds of opposition:
Rev13:5-6 "There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him."
All arrogant words and blasphemies are heard among the fleshly minded that do the deeds of lawlessness and used to mock the spiritual minded that do not do what the fleshly minded do daily. Even in the last days of spiritual minded to the fleshly end, he is constantly blasphemed of the keeping of His testimony and commandments of Life. Satan uses all the fleshly minded to make war (deceive) the spiritual minded who do His will daily in their spiritual trials.
All who worship the beast are not written in the book of Life:
Rev13:8 "All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain."
All who do the deeds of lawlessness/evilness lose their spiritual valuation because of the works of opposition to His Kingdom of Life. Those who do the deeds of goodness increase their spiritual valuation for their obedience to His Law of Life.
The perseverance and the faith of the saints (our spiritual bodies):
Rev. 13:10 "If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints."; Rom. 13:1-4 "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and those which exist are established by Elohim. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of Elohim; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of Elohim to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of Elohim, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil."
Upon our repentance out of the kingdom of lawlessness, we, His sealed servants, must commit fully in doing what is good, regardless of what the evil doers (fleshly bodies) in this world of mortality do to us will receive condemnation. What is sown evilly shall be reaped/measured (captivity of slavery for captivity, murder for murder). Our perseverance and faith grows and is being tested in the Kingdom of Life while doing His commandments of Life in our fleshly lives until the ends of fleshly ages.
The image of beast and mark on their hands/foreheads:
Rev. 13:11-18 "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
The image of beast is the dominion of Satan's kingdom in the fears of fleshly minded who depends on the fleshly things more than His spiritual things as the words of lawlessness (Satan's mark) are written on their foreheads/hands to perform. We, the sealed servants, have no fear in the dominion of Satan, because we have His dominion with us in all the things from His Kingdom of Life to depend upon, for His Word of Life is written in our sanctified hearts. Our fleshly bodies are subjected to Satan to destroy at the ends of our fleshly ages, but our spiritual bodies are to return to His Kingdom of Life.
Other beast coming up exercises all the authority of the first beast:
Rev. 13:11-18 "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
Every beast (trial of lawlessness) comes to test the spiritual minded as he increases his knowledge of His Kingdom of Life and decrease the valuation of the works of lawlessness. 1 Cor. 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and Elohim is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." The first beast is used to test our mortal minds to understand the works of opposition before the next one increases the level of spiritual maturity to understand more depth of the kingdoms of opposition. The beast (kingdom of falsehood) can deceive His chosen ones as to help them understand better between the works of falsehood and the works of His truth. All the spiritual trials of our keeping of His commandments of Life and His testimony must come with the tests of Satan's kingdom of lawlessness to see how much valuation of our obedience can be measured in His Kingdom of Life like Yahushua our Messiah was tested in the wilderness for 40 days of His obedience to His Law of Life.
Beware of all the signs of falsehood (even end-times) taught to all, like we all are warned of many anti-messiah teachings. Many false teachers think they have His authorization to perform the signs that amaze the fleshly minded, and have His power to do the miracles.
The image of beast (lawlessness) causes all the fleshly minded to worship:
Rev. 13:14-17 "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
All the fleshly births (generation to come) first come to the image of beast (lawlessness) because of sin, and do the deeds of opposition in worshipping the beast (Satan). We all are commanded to repent out of the kingdom of lawlessness, not to buy the doctrines of falsehood or to sell them for the glories of men. We have His sacred name written in our foreheads to worship the true Creator, but the fleshly minded have the name of beast (lawlessness) written in their foreheads.
The image of beast (lawlessness) is created for those who do the deeds of falsehood:
Rev. 13:14-17 "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
There are many images of lawlessness in this world of mortality for the fleshly minded to do the deeds/practices of lawlessness (doctrines of falsehood/deceit). Many false teachings, lawless practices, and man-made festivals that are against His Law of Life are the traditions of men that carry from generation to generation, but upon the repentance, we are awakened to His Kingdom of Light for all the truths given to us.
There is one true image (doctrine of His truth) in His Kingdom of Life where all the deeds of goodness are in one unity of His truths.
The image of beast (lawlessness) is wounded (afflicted) of sword (hatred) and come to life:
Rev. 13:14-17 "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
The image of beast (lawlessness/falsehood) is wounded (afflicted) by sword (hatred), but it comes back to life for the fleshly minded to carry it from generation to generation. The spiritual minded speak His truths against those who do the lawless practices (image of lawlessness) to afflict (hate), but the fleshly minded fight back to keep the traditions (doctrines of men). The spiritual minded do not buy the doctrines of falsehood or sell them for the monies, except the ones who have the mark of lawlessness in keeping the doctrines of men. Yahushua our Messiah was killed by the lawless ones that were against His teachings so we refrain all the doctrines of this lawless image for the sake of His truths as we share His death.
To him given breath to the image of the beast:
Rev. 13:15-16 "And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
All the fleshly births give their first breaths into the image of beast (kingdom of lawlessness) because of sin, and they are taught of the words of lawlessness from the youth. But if they are awakened out of the kingdom of darkness, they do not buy or sell what is out of the kingdom of darkness, for they are purchased with His blood of purification before they can eat His bread of Life and share the breaking of it to others.
No one shall buy or sell except the one who has the mark of the beast:
Rev. 13:16-17 "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one shall be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
No spiritual minded can buy the doctrines of falsehood thru the fleshly minded or can sell them for the sake of monies or share them with others. We, the spiritual minded, only eats His bread (Word) of Life given to us from above, and breaks it (His truth) to share with others to eat. The fleshly minded has the mark of image of beast (lawlessness) that is opposed to His Law of Life.
Six hundred sixty-six:
Rev. 13:18 “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six."
The number of mortal (outward) man is measured by the calculation/valuation of his disobedience to His Law of Life, equaling to the number of Satan the father of impurity (the beast) according to the works of lawlessness where the six is indicated as the number of restlessness for the father of lawlessness (6) that abides in the unsanctified/unwashed heart, the word of lawlessness (6), and the spirit/act of lawlessness (6). The seven is the number of sanctification as the seventh day of immortality (Shabbat) is freed from all the six days of mortality. All mortal minded are the workers of restlessness subjecting to the kingdom of lawlessness.
All immortal/repentant minded are freed from the kingdom of restlessness with our spiritual understanding from what we are born spiritually with Yahushua the Lamb of purity washing away our works of lawlessness (sins) upon our repentance out of the kingdom of lawlessness/mortality. The number of immortal man is measured by the calculation of the number of Yahushua the Word of purity that first wash the inward/repentant man (spiritual) then His Unleavened Bread (Word) of Life is served for 7 days, the count of 7 Shabbats to the receipt of His Spirit of Life (Shavuot/ Pentecost) and finally to our eternal dwelling (7 days of Sukkot/Tabernacle) in the Kingdom of our heavenly Father at the end of our flesh (harvest time). We, His sanctified servants, dwell in His name of our heavenly Father (7), His Son/Word of Life (7), and His Spirit of Life (7), where we are freed from the burdens of mortality.
Matt. 23:25-28 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
The fleshly minded focus what is outward thru his fleshly labor (six days) and the Spirit filled focus what is inward thru his spiritual freedom (7th sanctified day/Shabbat). Let us repent out of the kingdom of mortality that is bounded to Satan the father of lawlessness so we come to His Kingdom of freedom. The six seals (6), six trumpets (6), and six vials (bowls of wrath) (6) mentioned in the book of Revelation are understood as the six days of fleshly affliction, and the seventh seal (silence), the seventh trumpet (mystery of Elohim is finished), the seventh vial (the kingdom of world has become His Kingdom of our Master) is understood as the day of Shabbat/rest from all the days of fleshly affliction. Job 5:19-20 "From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you. In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword."
